HUGH DORSEY AND LITTLE JOE.
Solicitor •Genet al Dorsey, who first
tame into the limelight in the Frank
case, was proposed for governor but
chose, instead, to give exhibitions in
lung exercise In behalf of Little Joe.
Now Little Joe needs a whole lot of
talk; that’s evident And Dorsey is
a captivating speaker and diawa the
multitude of mountaineers—it may be
from curiosity, but let that pass.
But here is the main question, and
you can’t scratch it out In telling
the farmers how to vote, isn’t Dorsey
doing Little Joe more harm than
good’’
It looks us if. when Dorsey talks
with great eloquence and lung power,
in favor of hia friend that old moun
tain aides would naturally ask how
com* he don’t talk for himself If
the real answer he evaded, the next
thing would be: If Dorsey pleads for
Littla Joe so well .why ain’t he the
man t»» send to the senate instead of
the little un?
Then. If talking, thinking and work
ing for the people is what you want,
what's the matter with Hoke Smith,
who is already on the Job getting
money and things for the farmer, re
gional banks and what not?
Seem* ilk* Dorsey is talking for
Little Joe and working for Hoke.
Lead wise It appears that way to a
parson up a tree.

And the odd* eeem to he on nor
mally giving h good account of her

the war.
On the sen, no naval battle of im
portance ts looked for Oermany will
play hide and seek with the English
fleet, using the Kiel canal, and keep
ing close to her shore foruf cations.
The only way for England to force a
big naval engagement would he to
divide her fleet, so as to bo prepared
for a Herman rush in both the North
f*ea and In tiie Baltic. Evidently
England will not do this and will con
tent heraelf to keeping the Herman
fleet bottled up as much ss possible.
In case the land forces could take
the Kiel Canal, then England would
have the Herman 'fleet at her mercy,
and would douhtlsas quickly destroy
It. with Us superior force and weight
of numbers
The war on sea will be confined to
occasional single engagements, the
use of mines, torpedoes, etc each side

NO WAR TAXES FOR THIS
COUNTRY.
Thers la a threatened deficit tn rev
enue of this country owtng to the lack
of Imports caused hy the war and It
hea been euggested that the I'nlted
States would soon have to put on a
war tax to meet this temporary loss
tn income This would be a serious
mistake and It is not necessary No
war faxes are necessary for this
countrv to mast thta situation
The net balance If the fnlted <Uates
Treasury on August Ist was over 141
millions while !4* millions more are
carried on the hooks for money spent
on the Panama Canal There are
•rer 140 niolloßi of Panama bond*
T
authorized by law still In the Treasury'
and the United States is entitled to
sell ihese bonds to reimburse Itself
for the money advanced for the canal
const ruction out of its genera! funds
Iri other words the United Htaiea
Treasury Is in position to make good
an annual deficit of 175 millions a
year in loss of revenue from imports
for- a period of two years without the
imposition of w;ir taxes in this coun
try. In the face of such a showing,
it. is foolish to talk of levying a war
tax upon the huslru*ss of this country
It will not be done.
DURATION OF THE WAR.
At this stage of the war there ecorns
to he abaohitely nothing upon which
to base a time limit for its duration.
It has Just begun. The Germans have
not yet reached their objective, which
is France—that is, In considerable
bodies
The German forcer, were taken by
surprise in the outset. They started
out to take France by surprise and
crush her l>efo’'• the* K issians could
reach the Gorman border. They ex
pected a tree passage through Bel
gium or at best, n short struggle. In
th!•* the. were reckoning without their
boat.
The forts at liege proved to he form
idable obstacles in til Mr pathway and
may yet prove Insuperable to their
further advance in that direction. De
lays are dangerous and their plan o(
am prising the French has been frtis
traded. The time consumed In the
attempt to reduce the forts at Liege
was Indeed precious time and It has
been sufficient to enable the French
t<> mobilize th !r troops. Ho there
will be no surprising the French.
The In< t remain*, nevertheless, the*
Germany Is the best prepared in the
Impending struggle and she was first
In the field with an organised force.
That is the effect of German dlscip
line and German organisation. Bhd i
ha for years kept an Immense stand
ing army and was ready to strike on
the minute.
But the Germans will never go t«*
Paris. They may penetrate into
French territory where they will find
the allies of the Triple Entente pre
pared to receive them. After fighting
a battle or battles, they will he forced
ba« k beyond their own borders an I
compelled to defend German soil.
This they are prepared to do to the
last extremity The Teuton’* love for
the Fatherland Is very strong within
him and he will brave death with
all Its horrors when his native land
Is invaded With stout hearts and all
the Ynoriem enginery of war the re
sistanre will he stubborn and pro
longed.
Germany is well preps red, flnan
< ally and otherwise, for sustaining •
long war. The invaders of Germany
will find It one vast fortress bristling
with fighting machines of strang*
make and huge killing capacity. They
will find a country bisected by canals
and canalized river* affording ready
transportation for large armies and
enormous supplies. They will find
the three hill lons, exacted from France
ms a war Indemnity, still intact In the
vaults of the the enor
mous savings in the tanks which a
thrifty population has been years ac
cumulating.
And above all, they will find a coun
try teeming with agricultural and
mineral wealth, and In the highest
stale of develeopmCnceet, the opera
lions in both of which are conducted
on the Isrgst scale and In the most
scientific manner. They will also
find, aH the companion piece of this
picture, active, flourishing and ag
gresalvs industries that have been
covering the globe with their varied
manufactures, and carried in the ships
of their own make and flying the
German flag.
Germany is a self-supporting, inde
pendent country. Therefore it would
he quite hazardous to venture a pre
dirt lon. when the war In In ito earliest
I stage, as to it* probable duration.
NOW FOR THE TUNNEL.
ClvllUatlon has been making time
while English sentiment was forming
for a tunnel under the English chan
nel to connect Calais In France with
Inner In England.
If the tunnel nai ready and In oper
ation. the English troops sent to the
nsslstanie of France could now pass
under the channel and not over It.
Had It not been for England's apa
thetic attitude toward France during
the Franco-Prussian war and the sub
sequent coldness between the two
Hons that enaued. It la probable that
Imlat tltla grand enterprlae would be
a reality. The fact that there Is at
present no land pasaage between the
two countrlea Is tine in lack of en
terprising spirit on the part of
the French; but rather to the hone
hendadnesa of the military advisers of
John Bull
The enterprise originated with the
French engineer Msthlen about 1800.
The or ct was next revived in 1880
hy Tltoine de Harm tide and was re
carded with favor both by Inula N'a
ppoleott and by Queen Victoria. It
was pronounced practical by experts
and companies were formed both by-
French and English capttallsls to con
st met the tunnel It had the endorse
ment of the leading commercial bodies
of I’arls and London. Twenty-five
yeare ago the actual work of construc
tion started and apparently nothing
stood in the way of the ultimate ful
filment.
But to no purpose tin each occasion
the timid councils of the British war
office prevailed and the work was
abandoned Ignoring the commer
cial advantages that would accrue,
they claimed that the tunnel would be
s serious menace to the defense of
Fnglsnd.
Erlor to 1804 France was held hy
the Knglish people as the one great
object of fear and dread. Since that
time British sentiment against the
project hat been kept sllve by repre
sentations of the danger from mines
to an army while In tranalt through
the tunnel Main, It was said that
the cotuiuerlna enemy might demand
that It l>e foreyer retrain open to the
vital center of England
Recently the subject has again been
broached in the British Parliament,
and there yyere signs then of a more
favorable view of the subject being
tsken The opposition was lets stren
uous than heretofore and the hope is
still entertained that this great work
*lll yet be accomplished Perhaps the

long demanded.
MILITARY AND CIVILIAN
RELATIONS SHOWN; TRIAL
Munich.—A civil court proceeding
growing indirectly out of a trial by
court-martial, has directed attention
to an extraordinary case showing once
more the relations existing between
military persons and civilians. The
cast- In question ia some months old.
hut it escaped notice at the time it
occurred. The defendant before the
courtmartial was a Lieutenant Beider
of the garrison In Ingostadt. The
tarts a* brought out on trial were
these:
Lieutenant Beider’s man servant
had a quarrel with the domestic s*r
vatlt of th** landlord of the house in
which the lieutenant and his wife had
an apartment, in the course of which
the maid declared that "the lieuten
ants are a dirty psek who don’t clean
up their mess. They are a brood.
The lieutenant’s wife sent for her
husband ‘ Thla female says we are a
brood." ahe said, pointing to the maid.
The lieutenant thereupon struck the
girl twice with his saber.
"You are acting like a washerwom-,
an to mix up in such n quarrel,” said
the wife of the landlord, who had
seen the occurrence. "You ought to
he ashamed as an officer to strike a
woman with your sword.”
The lieutenant struck the woman on
the face with his hand, she raised n
broom against him and he attacked
her with his sword, cutting both her
hands.
The courtmartial found fielder guil
ty and sentenced him to 45 days’ im
prisonment in a fortress The supe
rior military court at Nuremberg, to
which the lieutenant appealed, acquit
ted him, on the ground that ho had
acted in self-defense. Actions for in
sult against the two women resulted
in a fine of sl2 for the wife of the
landlord and $2.50 for the maid. Their
appeals were dismissed.
WANT A REVIVAL IN
METHODIST CHURCH
London. —Many prominent Metho
dists made a plea at the annual Wes
leyan conference held at Leeds for a
revival in the Methodist church. The
need for such an effort it was stated
was acknowledged on every side. All
the churches reported a falling away
in membership, and a lack of enthu
siasm of those who remained In out
ward connection with the church.
Methodist prayer meetings, said the
Rev S. F. Collier, former president
of the conference, had suffered ter
ribly by getting into routine. What
they needed today was the note tri
umphant. While the rest of the world
had been raising the standard they
of the church had been lowering it.
“It is bad form to be enthusiastic
in the pulpit nowadays. It Is bad
form to he enthusiastic anywhere
about religion. I suppose in some
pulpits if I cultivated a doleful voice
and a heavy manner l should he look
ed upon as a scholar and rank above
an evangelist.”
"I wonder sometimes If we are not
becoming too respectable,” said Sir
John Barnsley in discussing the mat
ter. "The Methodist church used tj
be the church of the poor. It has
lost that inheritance and has handed
over to others the work of redeeming
the common people.”

SOME STANDPAT
PREVARICATIONS
Secretary of War Oarrlaon ha* taken
the rather unusual course of writing to
a New York atnndpat newspaper to cor
rect an editorial article of varied mieln
formAlton upon affairs, in the Philippine
island*. This charged that the Wilson
administration was forcing out of office
Dr. Victor llelser. the very able direc
tor of the bureau of health In the talanda;
that a native physician was to take his
place, and that as a result of thla change
there had been a great Increase In mor
tality and sickness The secretary of
war has no trouble In showing that these
statements are all entirely without
foundation, and he concludes with this
little plea for fair play: "Our respon
sibility I* very' great In the Philippine
Islands, and we are endeavoring to ful
fill our duty wisely and fully. You, I
know, have no desire to embarrass us
by creating impression* which proceed
from misinformation as to facts.”
This little incident is hut a fair sam
